(Screengrab from Cebu Capitol PIO video) CEBU CITY - Governor Gwendolyn Garcia on Wednesday vowed to intensify efforts to bring the province of Cebu to a higher level of progress in the next three years following her historic feat of garnering more than 1.4 million votes in Monday's election. Lawyer Jerome Brillantes, Commission on Election-Cebu supervisor who sits as provincial Board of Canvasser chair, proclaimed Garcia on Tuesday night at the Provincial Capitol's social hall. After Brillantes declared that all the certificates of canvass from the 51 towns and component cities of the province were received and canvassed, the counsel of One Cebu Party, lawyer Rory Jon Sepulveda, moved to proclaim the winner. "After all the votes of the seven legislative districts in the one great province of Cebu have been counted and canvassed showing a total of 1,478,436 votes for Gwendolyn Fiel Garcia, incumbent governor who is currently serving a historic fourth term... The first woman to have been elected as governor of Cebu, making a trail of historic wins as now made another first being the first to have breached the one-million mark in the history of the electoral process in the province of Cebu, with a resounding majority of 1.1 million votes over her opponent," Sepulveda said in his introducing his motion. Garcia, in her speech, thanked the Cebuanos for the overwhelming support which, she said, would guide her in rising above her "own personal comfort and to put paramount importance to the interest of the Cebuanos". She also thanked the government agencies that are giving the provincial government "valuable inputs during the difficult times" of the pandemic. Durano conceded defeat, congratulating Garcia and the reelected vice governor, Hilario Davide III, his running mate. "To all the Cebuanos who supported our cause of #ABetterCebu and the Cebu Priority Development Agenda, my heartfelt thanks to you all. I do not regret my decision to run for governor because I believe Cebu really needs a better health program, equal livelihood opportunities, and projects for various sectors. But the people have a voice and the will of the majority will be fulfilled)," Durano said in a statement posted on his social media page. Garcia championed the reopening of Cebu's economy, particularly the tourism industry, a major step for the island while the rest of the country was still reeling from the impact of the pandemic. During the pandemic, the governor introduced programs that helped the Cebuanos amid the economic challenges, such as the Sugbo Negosyo, Sugbusog, Enhanced Countryside Development, and Sugbo Kahanas. The programs were also instrumental in making Cebu debt-free, the country's richest province, and insurgency-free. (PNA) }

Over 4K Cebuanos get scholarship for skills training

CEBU CITY - More than 4,000 Cebuanos can now start their free training with the Technical Skills Development Authority (TESDA) after receiving their certificates of scholarship from the Cebu provincial government. Through a PHP100-million budget, the local government launched the "Sugbo Kahanas" program which will help Cebuanos and the economy recover from the damaging effects of the pandemic and Typhoon Odette. Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia on Monday led the ceremonial distribution of scholarship grants to 55 Cebuano beneficiaries who represent the 4,329 qualified TESDA scholars of the Capitol's Sugbo Kahanas program. "This program . . . is not just a classroom environment. This is about our scholars actually learning the skill that would give them a better opportunity in life, that would open doors to employment that would mean higher wages," Garcia said during the event. Under the program, the provincial capitol partnered with the TESDA to provide skills training to qualified Cebuanos who would take up organic agriculture production, cookery, bread and pastry, housekeeping, bartending, electrical installation and maintenance, carpentry, tile setting, plumbing, and computer system servicing, among many others. The qualified beneficiaries will receive a PHP160 daily allowance, PHP500 subsidy for face masks and other essentials, and PHP500 for internet expenses for online classes. The local government will also enroll them in an accident insurance policy with the Government Service Insurance System and entrepreneurship training to help them start their own businesses later on. Aside from NC-II certificates, beneficiaries who complete the training will also receive starter kits at the end of the program, like welding machines for those enrolled in the welding program, and ovens for those in the bread and pastry production. Clarissa Geraldo, head of the TESDA's Provincial Operations Unit, said the duration of the training courses varies from one to two months. Based on the TESDA's impact evaluation, more than 70 percent of its graduates get immediately employed after completing the program. "A PHP100-million investment in human capital is one of a kind in the national arena in terms of skills training and program," Geraldo said, adding that believing in human capital development is key in alleviating poverty and spurring economic growth.
